Chapter 4801

In the next instant, Ambassador Chen's expression changed drastically as he sharply turned his head toward Cold Blade's side.

After all, he had once been a reconnaissance soldier, with strong vigilance.

One after another figures emerged from nothingness, slowly coalescing into form.

Ambassador Chen's pupils shrank violently; for a moment, his scalp prickled with dread. "How is this possible... No—it's supernatural power! How could this be?"

On the other side, Secretary Wang's body tensed instantly, his heart surging with turbulent waves.

"These are my friends! Don't worry—they won't harm you."

After glancing at Su Han and the others, Cold Blade's lips curled into a faint smile as he turned and gave Secretary Wang and Ambassador Chen a serious nod.

"... I see."

Ambassador Chen took several deep breaths; his mind swirled with countless thoughts, and he barely managed to calm himself, though doubt and unease still churned within him.

Originally, Ambassador Chen had assumed Cold Blade had gained supernatural power by sheer chance.

Cold Blade should have been alone... with no other faction standing behind him.

After all, if supernatural power were widespread, his own nation—the world's greatest power—could not possibly remain unaware.

But Su Han and the others' appearance shattered his assumptions.

"Interesting."

Su Han glanced at Ambassador Chen and Secretary Wang, but said nothing further, casually opening the Jiezhugong Society livestream.

Then, gazing far into the distance, he wore a thoughtful expression. "Cold Blade, the energy barrier you're using now is... a spaceship's energy shield?"

"But it seems you've diluted its strength by many times over."

"I originally brought it to protect myself! Now I'm protecting an entire city... the range expanded so much, dilution was inevitable."

Cold Blade smiled bitterly. "But luckily, Mr. Liu's technology is unimaginably advanced! Even diluted this much, its defensive capability remains formidable..."

"It can't stop human ultimate weapons or missiles, but it holds firm against these insects."

Ambassador Chen: "!!!!"

Secretary Wang: ""

Both their expressions turned dazed; they stared at each other, nearly doubting they'd heard correctly.

What the hell—spaceship energy shield? So all this time, it wasn't supernatural power at all... it was technology! "Though unbelievable, when you think about it... it actually makes sense."

Secretary Wang swallowed hard, muttering to himself, "The reason these people suddenly appeared might be because they control spatial transfer technology—or perhaps invisibility tech!"

"No wonder we never detected any supernatural power before! This... Cold Blade, his companions, even the Mr. Liu Cold Blade mentioned earlier... they likely discovered an alien spaceship or alien base... and gained partial control over alien technology..."

Suddenly realizing something, Secretary Wang's eyes widened sharply. "Wait—if that's true, then those metal locusts might be..."

At this moment, Secretary Wang deduced the truth.

"Let me handle the enemies first."

Krulu, her expression eager, paused, then spoke softly, "By the way, President, I assume it's fine if I act?"

"Just don't deliberately harm humans."

Su Han's expression remained calm.

"Good."

As soon as the words left her lips, Krulu's body was engulfed in a layer of blood-red light.

She shot toward the distance at an unimaginable speed.

In the span of a breath, Krulu crossed the energy barrier, her excitement intensifying.

"Now then, let's see... whether you can become part of my retinue."

Terrifying blood erupted from her body, surging in all directions.

A vast river of blood engulfed everything within sight.

This blood was highly corrosive, radiating an eerie power.

Even the metal locusts were deeply consumed and erased.

"It even devours metal—her power truly defies logic; she's nothing like a vampire from her world."

Edward Elric clicked his tongue.

"It's somewhat like Lord Arquard's power... I can't rule out the possibility that Krulu has made a deal with him behind the scenes."

Cold Blade rubbed his chin.

After a brief pause, he gazed into the distance, a flicker of envy appearing in his eyes. "But... I have to admit, this kind of power, entirely under one's own control—how wonderful."

"What? Planning to switch paths halfway?"

Edward raised an eyebrow.

"A little... after all, you know we have enough time and enough room for error."

Cold Blade spoke softly.

After all, with enough effort and sufficient points, they could use the Jiezhugong Society training room to gain unimaginable training time... as long as one has perseverance, not even ten or eight power systems would be barred to you... "I suspect Mr. Liu Qiang will be somewhat disappointed."

Edward sighed softly.

Cold Blade showed no reaction; he didn't agree. After all, Liu Qiang hadn't switched to another power system because his world, merged with the Three-Body world and under Qi Mu Nanxiong's deterrent, had experienced a massive shift in cosmic technology—his world's tech had leapt ahead overnight. At that stage, sufficient technological means already existed to enhance oneself.

He himself was still in the early stage of technological development... adapting to his own situation was the wisest approach... "So, Edward, aren't you switching too?"

Su Han watched Edward with keen interest.

"If she can handle it alone, I won't intervene."

Edward spoke with perfect calm.

Hearing the exchange among these people, Ambassador Chen felt his mind spiral into chaos.

Vampires... Krulu—what is all this?! He had just guessed this was all alien technology... and now a creature from Western mythology—vampires—had appeared. Next, will goblins, dragons, and elves show up? And... Ambassador Chen stared at the blood river Krulu had unleashed and swallowed hard.

This power... was too terrifying—beyond any words to describe.

Everything within sight had been dyed blood-red, and a rough estimate put it at no less than several dozen kilometers... let alone the strength of the metallic locusts... they had previously had the scientists who rushed over from Yanhuang run tests and obtain results... the group of... experts ultimately concluded that only by using nuclear warheads for large-scale destruction could the metallic locust crisis before them be completely resolved... this alone proves just how terrifying these metallic locusts are... that vampire, by the looks of it, has truly wiped out all those metallic locusts... doesn't this mean that the power she herself possesses is in no way inferior to humanity's ultimate technology! Moreover, if vampires are a race, god knows just how many vampires there are... and how could the vampires' overall strength be anything but small—
